The Impact of SMS on Mobile Phone Security

The mechanism for doing number porting wasn't protected. You could actually have fraudulent people effectively taking over your mobile phone number automatically without having to go in and be challenged for verification. It's interesting that the most entities layer on additional security once something seems broken rather than trying to replace it. So we had a technology that wasn't designed for security became the mode of security. And we build barriers now to try and protect it. The industry is going as a response to all of these things.
